6. Alex..?

I woke up with red and crust my eyes. I guess I cried all night, over Alex..

I looked at the time, 10:30 AM. I got up and put some grey sweats with a grey shirt that hung off of my shoulder. I didnt really care about my look because I was just going to the store to get a few things.

I brushed my teeth and hair, but I put my hair in a messy bun.

I walked out of my room and walked out of te lobby. I started walking and was about to get to te store when I turned my head. I looked over at the lake, and the park. I had noticed someone.. He looked familiar. I squinted to look closer then remembered my glasses in my bag!

i took them out and put them on. They helped a little bit. I still had to squint, though. I saw Alex and some girl. They were sitting by each other.. Or should I say on each other. They were also kissing. They released then I started to walk because I thought he would see me. I power walked and heard my name be called. Tears were flowing from my eyes. I looked back and saw Alex calling my name. "Ashley!! Ashley!" I heard him yell. I kept walking until I got to a rocky dam. I walked down it and sat on a rock while my tears flew from my eyes to my chin. Alex sat next to me, so I turned. He put his hand on my shoulder and I think I even heard him sniffle a little bit.. "Hunny.." He kind of whispered. I could tell he felt horrible. I then heard a unfamiliar voice call out . "Alex! Alex?!!" I turned my head and saw the girl he was kissing. She ran down to Alex and sat right next to him. I got up and walked away from them whipping off my glasses and cheeks. I ran back to the hotel. And slammed my door, so hard it opened back up again. I laid on my bed crying my heart out. I loved Alex.. So much.
